**** Bonjour mes amis. Welp hre I am with another installment. I'm not too
keen on this one. I think I could have done better. But most of it I was
writing at midnight and all I wanted to do was go to sleep. So if it
doesn't have substance I'm sorry. But the next one will be better I
promise. Of I would like to commend JAY! Who gave me the idea of comparing
the song "This I Promise You" to Justin and Josh's relationship. I noticed
it after he pointed it out. And for that I thank you Jay! Anyways. On with
the story. Oh comments are always welcome at Wipeout211@yahoo.com. Oh and
one more quick thing. My biggest pet peeves is chain letter and forwards.
So please don't send me any. Except the one Matt sent me Combo Number 5!!
That was hilarious. But that's an exception. That's not a chain letter. So
please don't send it to me. This e-mail address is for actual e-mail
only. If you need another e-mail to send forwards and stuff to. Write me
and I'll give you my other one. With that said. ON WITH THE STORY! hehe
Josh and Just 17
Lance stood, waiting for Danielle's answer. He shook his head in
disbelief quickly and looked from the man back to Danielle.
"Lance. . . Wait. . . I can explain. . . he's. . . he's. . . "
Danielle stuttered. Holding up her hands trying to calm Lance down. Lance
backed away from her as if not wanting to be touched by her hands. He
turned toward the door with coat in hand. Danielle ran after him and
grabbed his arm softly. He jerked away and turned around.
"Danielle I loved you. I felt guilty whenever I even glanced twice
at a girl. I had nightmares about not loving you anymore. And you are
here. . . with. . . with this other guy?" Lance asked in pure confusion.
His face became bright red, not out of embarrassment but pure anger.
"Lance I still love you. . ." Danielle started.
"Don't! Don't Even! You don't love me! If you did love me you
wouldn't be here with him right now. You wouldn't be here with him,
period. You know Joey had always told me you were no good. I should have
listened to him. We're through!" Lance said walking toward the door. He
threw open the door and walked into the chilly night that had settled over
Los Angeles. He looked over his shoulder to see Danielle weeping while her
hands covered her face. He slammed the door closed and walked to his car in
rage. He took a seat in his car and slammed the car door shut. He slammed
his fist into the wheel and let out a sigh. Lance looked to the roof of the
car as he rested his head against the seat. He looked back down at his
wheel while tears stung his eyes. He quickly wiped his tears away and
turned the key in the ignition. Within seconds he had pulled out of the
driveway and was driving back to the hotel.
"I got you! I got you!" JC smiled as he wrapped both arms around
the child and swung him into the air. Seth screamed with joy as JC sailed
him through the air onto the bed.
"Go get Justin!" JC suggested as he pointed to Justin who was
walking into the room carrying the ice bucket he had gone to fill. Seth ran
to Justin. Justin quickly placed the ice bucket down on a table so he could
catch Seth who had jumped up. Justin let out a groan as he brought the kid
to his hip. He carried the child with one arm while he picked up the ice
bucket with the other.
"Justin handed the bucket to Britney while he took the boy to the
bed. Seth breathed heavily from all the running he had done while Justin
laid him down on the bed.
"Time for bed Seth. Okay?" Justin asked as he brushed Seth's hair
back so it wasn't in his face.
"Okay." Seth said disappointedly. Justin smiled at the kids
expression of sadness and ruffled his hair before pulling the covers up
around the boy.
"Goodnight Seth. Don't let those bedbugs bite." Justin said turning
off the lights on his side of the room.
"Bedbugs?" Seth questioned in fear. He hopped out of bed and darted
to JC who was sitting on the other bed. He quickly hugged JC while wrapping
his arms around the older man's neck and burying his face into his
shoulder. He looked down at the sudden hug he received and then to
Justin. Justin gave him a small laugh before joining him on the bed.
"There are no such things as bedbugs Seth. It's just a saying."
Justin said as he patted the child's back. Seth looked at everyone before
shaking his head and burying it in JC's shoulder once again. JC gave a
small laugh and wrapped both of his arms around the boy. He rested his back
on the head board and cradled the child.
"So when do you think Jennie will be home?" Tyler asked throwing
one of Seth's toys into the air only to catch on it's way down. He laid
next to his brother who was softly humming to the kid, helping him fall
asleep.
"She should be back. Why don't you care about your son?" JC laughed
softly.
"I still don't know why I had to be his father." Tyler complained.
"Well if one of us were his father it be a little bad. But if you
are, it's no big deal." JC explained.
"Yeah whatever." Tyler laughed, continuing to throw the toy into
the air. A knock at the door caused Britney to pop up and run to the
door. Justin let out a small laugh as he saw his friend scurry to the door
as if she was a girl going on her first date.
"Hello Fred. . ." Britney stopped when she saw Lance standing in
the door way.
"Oh it's just you." Britney complained as she walked into the
room. Lance walked in and closed the door. He walked in to see JC hugging
onto a child while Justin laid down next to him. Tyler was laying on the
other side of JC while Britney made herself comfortable on the couch. Lance
laid himself down on the other bed which was empty.
"So Lance, how is Danielle?" Justin asked.
"We broke up." Lance replied blankly. Lance looked up to see
everyone's eyes on him.
"What? What do you mean you broke up? Why?" JC asked softly, still
not wanting to wake Seth.
"Well she has been cheating on me. I found her with another guy
tonight." Lance replied. A small tear escaped his eye and started to roll
down his cheek. Justin was the first to get up and pull him into a
hug. Britney hugged both of them as they stayed embraced.
"Lance?" JC asked. Lance looked up from the hug at JC who was
sitting on the other bed.
"Yeah JC?" Lance asked.
"I want to give you a hug but I'm kind of stuck." JC said pointing
down to Seth. Lance broke a smile while he wiped his eyes with the back of
his hands as if he was a crying toddler.
"It's okay Lance I know you'll find someone else. I never really
did like Danielle." Tyler said throwing a small bouncy ball toward Lance,
so he could play with it. Lance smiled and caught the ball.
"Thanks Ty." Lance replied.
"Anyway. Who was that girl you were talking about? Remember you
said she was fine?" Justin asked.
"I don't know. I just saw her on stage when we were walking in."
Lance replied.
"Well maybe you should find her tomorrow and ask her out." Justin
suggested.
"We'll see." Lance replied. As he laid back down on the
bed. Britney heard someone at the door and quickly popped up. She ran to
the door and opened it.
"Hey Fredd. . ." Britney stopped when she saw Jennie and John in a
small kiss.
"Get a room." Britney said disappointedly while she walked back to
the couch and sat in disappointment. Moments later Jennie walked into the
room with an expression of pure bliss on her face. She let her hair down
and shook it out of it's bun. She placed her purse on the dresser and
sighed with happiness.
"Help! I think she fell in love!" Justin acted as he hopped up to
check her pulse. She smiled and smacked his hand. She walked over to the
bed where JC sat with Seth and looked down at her son. She gently took a
hold of him and hugged him while carrying him to the other bed. Lance moved
so she could place Seth in the bed.
"Well thank you guys for watching Seth. I really appreciate it."
Jennie thanked the group.
"Yeah, Yeah Whatever." Britney replied while sulking.
"Don't mind her. Freddie hasn't showed up yet." JC explained. He
sat on the bed cuddling with Justin.
"Ohhhh. I'm so sorry Britney. He probably has a good excuse
though." Jennie said walking over to hug her. Britney sighed and nodded.
"Well I guess we should head out. Britney are you going to crash in
our room or are you going to stay here?" Justin asked getting up from the
bed.
"I'll crash with you guys so Jennie can get some sleep tonight
instead of having Seth kick her every hour." Britney smiled as she got up.
"Bless You. You are such a kind soul" Jennie replied genuinely. JC,
Justin, Tyler, and Britney walked out into the hall. Suddenly they heard a
door slam and saw Sarah running toward the elevator. Sarah ran past them
as she continued to run. Her cheeks were stained with tears while her
others built up in the wells of her eyes.
"Sarah. What's wrong?" Britney asked.
"Freddie got into a car accident." Sarah cried as she made her way
to the elevator.
Britney rushed into the hospital right next to Sarah. The two ran
to the front desk where they saw nurses moving about bustling in this
direction and that. Justin, Tyler and JC ran behind them. JC placed both of
his hands on Britney's shoulders for comfort.
"Excuse me? I was called about my cousin being in the hospital. Do
you know what room he's in?" Sarah asked, desperately trying to find the
information quickly.
"Are you a Miss Sarah Katz?" The nurse asked.
"Yes." She replied. Britney stood anxiously. She was a little
perturbed at how slow the nurse was moving. She tapped her foot with
impatience. The only thing that ran through her mind was Freddie laying in
a hospital bed with tubes and machines hooked up to him. Britney let out a
stifled cry and covered her mouth with her hand. The tears began to flow as
she waited. She felt both of JC's arms go around her from behind. She
leaned against his chest while the tears flowed. She watched as Sarah had
to identify herself before getting the room number. Soon the five were
racing toward the room on the second floor of the hospital. Sarah looked
from door to door as she rushed down the hall. She stopped in front of the
room as did Britney. Tyler stayed close to Britney for support. JC moved
closer to Justin almost making contact with him. Sarah placed her hand on
the doorknob and turned it slowly. They walked into the dimly lit room
which was pretty much empty. The single bed housed a figure under the
covers. The room looked bare with no sort of decorations or fanciness. It
was plain and that's it. Sarah walked slowly to the bedside while Britney
walked to the other side. Tyler, Justin and JC walked to the foot of the
bed and looked on carefully.
"He's asleep still." Sarah whispered as she placed a hand on top of
his.
"Well we're going to call everyone else and make sure they know
what happens." Justin said softly. Britney nodded as she took a seat on a
chair next to the side of the bed.
"You two going to be okay?" JC asked. Both girls gave a small yet
obvious nod. JC took Justin's hand and gave it a light squeeze before
walking to the door. Tyler walked with Justin after his big brother.
Justin followed JC out into the hall where they waked to the telephones.
"So who do you want to call? Joey, Lance, or Chris?" Justin asked.
"Well Joey and Chris are in one room and I think they already know
something's up. So lets just call Chris and tell him what the room number
is." JC replied. He looked toward Tyler who gave him a nod.
"How is he? Is he okay?" Chris asked as he came running down the
hall to Freddie's room. He saw a nurse standing at the door checking his
charts.
"Can we see him?" Chris asked.
"No. Visiting hours are over. But you can wait in the waiting
area. Right over there." The nurse pointed. Chris took the whole group
following him to the waiting area. They all saw Britney napping on a couch
while her head rested on Tyler's thigh. Tyler was flipping through a
magazine nervously. Justin sat on another couch with laying on the couch
with his head in Justin's lap. Sarah paced around the room looking to the
floor.
"Hey you guys." Chris said softly. Sarah snapped her head up when
she heard Chris's voice. She quickly ran to him and hugged him, burying her
face into his shoulder. JC looked toward the entrance to the room and saw
Joey, Chris, Lance, William, and Jennie who was carrying her sleeping child
in her arms.
"Hey." JC gave a response.
"So any news yet?" Jennie asked as she walked over to the couch. JC
quickly got up and made room for her. He took Seth from her and held him as
he slept. Justin took JC's leather jacket off his shoulders and placed it
around the sleeping child.
"How's Brit holding up?" Joey asked as he ran his hands through his
hair.
"She's holding on. We saw him earlier. He looks fine. He hasn't
woken up yet and the doctors haven't told us anything yet." Justin replied.
"He's going to be alright though. Right? He's not like on his death
bed or anything right?" Lance asked in a groggy voice.
"No. He's okay. All I can see is a small scratch and some bruises
on his face and arms. Other than that, that's all I know." JC replied
softly. Seth stirred in his arms and lifted off JC's shoulder tiredly. He
rubbed his eyes and pouted before looking around. He saw JC's face before
placing his head back down on JC's shoulder and wrapping both arms around
his neck.
"Shhhh. Go to sleep. We'll see you in the morning kay?" JC
whispered to the boy.
It wasn't much later when the guys laid around the waiting room
hoping for any news on Freddie. Justin sat next to Seth who was sleeping
on the couch with JC's oversized jacket covering him as a blanket. Jennie
was on the phone explaining the circumstances to the management. Even
though the hours were early. She was focused on getting Britney some time
to spend with Freddie. Lance and Tyler leaned against each other while they
kept themselves up by drinking coffee which they held in their weary
hands. Britney found herself in a warm embrace from Joey. He protected her
from the world around as he kept her warm. Chris sat comforting Sarah in
any way possible. William snoozed in the corner. JC walked into the room
with two glasses of coffee in his hands. He took his seat next to Justin
and passed him a cup. Justin took a small sip before looking at JC and
giving him a smile.
"You okay?" JC asked as cupped Justin's face with his palm and
rubbed Justin's cheek with his thumb.
"Yeah I'm fine. Just thinking. I'm as awake as I can be at four in
the morning. But I'm kind of worried about our schedule tomorrow. I hope
Jennie is able to get us out of that at least if not the concert." Justin
said tiredly. He placed his head down on JC's shoulder and let out a small
shiver. JC placed an arm around Justin's shoulder and held him closer. He
softly pressed his lips to Justin's forehead and tried to look at Justin's
face. Justin looked up at JC's face. JC quickly made a goofy grin which
caused Justin to give a small laugh. JC joined as he watched Justin smile
lightly.
"I love you." JC whispered. He shared with Justin a secret that
only they knew about. Justin smiled and placed his head under JC's chin.
"I love you too." Justin whispered back.
"Hey you guys. I just was told that we should head home
now. Britney is going to stay with Sarah and me. She is cleared from all of
rehearsals tomorrow. But you guys can go in later. So you should probably
head back." Jennie said. Justin could see the disappointment in her
face. She wanted to earn everyone more time to stay at the hospital but she
knew she couldn't.
"Okay thanks Jennie. Thanks for all you've done. We'll take Seth
home as well." Justin replied.
"I just hope I could've done more. And thanks for taking Seth I
really appreciate it." Jennie replied. With that said, Justin and JC were
given a hard task. The task of waking everyone up and getting them safely
to the hotel.
Justin held open the door for JC as JC carried Seth in his
arms. Tyler walked in behind them and closed the door while Justin turned
on the small desk lamp. Justin pulled back the covers of the bed for JC so
he could place the boy down.
"Where are we sleeping? I can crash with Seth and you two get the
other bed." Tyler suggested.
"No Tyler doesn't know you. If he wakes up he's gonna get freaked
out." JC replied as he sat down on the bed making sure it didn't move too
much.
"But I don't want to take a whole bed while you three scrunch in
one. It's not fair." Tyler protested.
"It's fine Ty. Seth can sleep between me and Justin." JC
replied. Justin took a seat on Tyler's bed and let out a yawn.
"Good now that that's all settled. I'm going to bed. Good night
everyone." Justin said as he crawled into bed next to Seth.
"Okay well I guess I get more bed room. Night big bro. Night
Justin." Tyler said crawling into bed himself.
"Goodnight you guys." JC said as he followed Justin into the
bed. The two teen idols surrounded Seth in a fortress of comfort. Justin
placed a protective arm around Seth while JC did the same. The two clasped
hands as they kept Seth safe between them. The room fell silent and all
that were asleep waited for the new day.
Josh and Just 18
Britney laid on the couch while she stared out the window of the
small quiet hospital room. She had watched the morning sun creep over the
city and start its day of burning bright in the sky. She glanced down at
her watch and read ten o'clock. She rubbed her eyes a bit and sat up with
her back propped up against the arm of the sofa. She pulled back the small
thin gray blanket that the hospital provided and pulled her knees close to
her body. She hugged her knees while she looked towards the bed. Hey eyes
drifted over the body as it laid in the bed and finally made their way to
the face where her eyes connected with Freddie's. She stared at him in
shock and stood from the bed. She made her way to the bedside and looked
down at him. She smiled to herself before taking a seat on the side of the
bed and hugging him ever so softly. At that point the tears flowed freely
down her cheek.
"You'd think you'd be happy to see me." Freddie joked as he lightly
placed his arms around her.
"I am. I was so worried. I'm just so glad you're okay. You are okay
right?" Britney asked, sitting up thinking that her hugging him might cause
him physical pain.
"Other then the fact that I'm paralyzed from the waist down. I'm
fine." Freddie replied. Britney gasped in horror as the tears began to fall
faster. Freddie let out a chuckle and brought her into a hug.
"Britney, I'm just joking. I'm going to be fine." Freddie
replied. Britney sat up with a small sigh of relief and looked back down at
the grinning Freddie.
"Don't you ever do that to me again!" Britney said as she smacked
his arm. Freddie continued too chuckle but made sure that Britney saw his
nod.
"So what happened? All I remember was seeing a car swerve and then
seeing a tree. That's it." Freddie asked.
"Well I guess the person who swerved into your lane was a drunk
driver and you were basically forced off the road and that's when you
crashed into the tree." Britney replied, wiping away the tear stains on her
face.
"Well I'm glad you came. But I don't want you to get in trouble or
something." Freddie said adjusting in the bed so Britney could lay down
next to him. Britney was apprehensive but was persuaded by Freddie pulling
her down.
"I won't get in trouble. I got the half the day off cause of you
and plus I got no sleep last night." Britney replied. She laid down
cautiously on the bed leaving a big gap between herself and Freddie.
Freddie laughed and pulled her closer. She wrapped both arms around his
waist while he hugged her. The two laid together just loving the feeling of
the other person.
"Are you sure we can stay like this? I don't want you to be in
pain. And what if I accidentally hurt you or cause you to pull
something,. I'd feel terri. . ." Britney was silenced by Freddie's mouth
covering hers for a kiss. Britney kissed him back and laid her head down on
his chest.
"Nevermind." Britney replied. The two both laughed and stayed close
together. Sarah walked through the door with Jennie following. Behind her
was a big man that stayed close to her as if protecting her from any harm.
"Good morning everyone." Britney said softly. Their eyes went to
Freddie and Britney and they all waved. Britney was surprised that the rest
weren't surprised that Freddie was awake (Phew! Run on sentence. Sorry.)
"Aren't you guys happy that Freddie is awake?" Britney asked.
"Well he's been awake for quite sometime now. We talked to him
while you were asleep." Sarah said giving a small laugh.
"And you didn't wake me?" Britney asked, not really minding the
extra sleep she got.
"No you were sound asleep and we didn't have the heart to wake
you." Jennie claimed taking a seat on the couch.
"Nice seeing you again John." Britney smiled at the man who took a
seat next to Jennie.
"You too Britney." He smiled back.
"Josh. Come on. You guys have to get up. You are going to the
hospital before going to practice remember?" Tyler said nudging his
brother.
"Ty. Go to sleep!" JC replied as he turned to face Justin in the
bed.
"Josh you have to get to the hospital." Tyler replied.
"Ty. Coucher-toi!" JC replied crankily. Tyler looked around the
room and saw Seth trying to tie his shoes while sitting on Tyler's
bed. Tyler picked Seth up and brought him close.
"Seth you have to wake JC and Justin for me okay?" Tyler asked.
"kay." The kid replied. Tyler placed him on the bed and
watched. Seth crawled over JC so he could be in between him and
Justin. Seth brought his face close to JC's and opened JC's eyelids with
his small hands.
"Hello." Seth said to JC's eye. JC let out a small laugh and sat
up. He tossed a glare over to Tyler causing him to burst up laughing. JC
scooped the boy into his arms and got out of bed. He placed the boy on the
floor and stretched.
"Now why did we have to wake up?" JC asked.
"Chris called and said that you we're heading over to the hospital
before you guys go to practice." Tyler explained. JC nodded and pulled
back the covers that Justin was using to sleep. Justin let out a small
groan and hid his head under the pillow. JC crawled onto the bed and placed
his mouth next to Justin's ear.
"Come on Sweety. Wake please? For me." JC whispered. Justin let out
a small groan and sat up in bed. He gave a tired to look to JC and laid
back down.
"Come on. Go shower up and get ready." JC said lifting Justin
up. He placed him on the ground in a standing position and hugged him.
"The only way I'm taking a shower now is if you come with me."
Justin grumbled.
"Okay. Fine. But we really have to go so we'll make it quick okay?"
JC explained.
"Fine. Just as long as I'm with you." Justin replied softly.
"Oh god! Will you please just go and save all that sappy stuff."
Tyler complained as he tied Seth's shoe for him.
"Fine we're going. We're going." Justin said taking JC's hand
within his and dragging him toward the bathroom.
The guys walked into the hospital bedroom with Seth clutching JC's
hand as he walked at his own little stride. They saw Sarah and Britney by
the bedside talking with Freddie while Jennie and John were on the
couch. Jennie looked over some papers while John looked over her shoulder.
"Hey everyone." Chris said walking into the room. He swiftly made
his way to Sarah's side while Joey and Lance walked to Britney's
side. Tyler stood at the foot of the bed while Justin and JC walked with
Seth. JC quickly saw John and scooped Seth into his arms.
"Tyler why don't you take your son to the food court to buy him
some ice cream." Justin said, trying to get a hold of Tyler's attention.
"My son?. . .Oh! My son!" Tyler said, taking Seth from JC's
arms. They all flashed John a smile and exited the room. JC pulled Tyler
out of the room and quickly looked at him.
"Here's a couple of bucks. Go buy him some food." JC said handing
him four dollar bills.
"Vingt." Tyler demanded.
"Twenty??? He's not going to eat that much food." JC replied in
shock.
"No but his daddy is mighty hungry." Tyler replied with a grin.
"Depeche-toi! Nous partons dans un demi heure." JC said to his
younger brother.
"Merci beaucoup, mon frere!" Tyler said taking the money from JC
and giving him a cheesy smile.
"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. Save me the big brother crap and leave." JC said
pushing his brother lightly.
"See ya." Tyler said taking Seth to get some breakfast. JC shook
his head at his brother and waked back to Justin. They exchanged a loving
look before walking back into the room.
"Okay Britney we have to go." Jennie said sadly as she
stood. Britney looked at her watch and let out a sigh. She looked back at
Freddie with longing eyes.
"What's wrong?" Freddie asked, taking her cheek in his hand. She
leaned toward the caressing hand, never wanting it to be taken away.
"I'm leaving LA after tonight's concert. I won't be able to come
back here." Britney said, the familiar tears returning in her eyes.
"Well I'll be okay. And I know you'll be sensational tonight. Don't
worry in two days I'll be out of here and I'll call you then okay? So stay
by the phone!" Freddie joked as he bumped his forehead with hers. She let
out a smile and kissed him softly.
"Promise you'll call me." Britney asked.
"I promise." Freddie replied.
"Bye Cutie. Get better soon okay?" Britney said backing away.
"I love you." Freddie said.
"I love you too." Britney replied.
"Bye Freddie. I hope you get better soon and come visit us on tour
okay?" Justin said as he shook Freddie's hand as did JC.
"Bye you two. I'll see you guys later." Freddie replied.
"Bye Freddie. Bye Sarah. I'll see you in a couple of days?" Chris
asked. Sarah nodded and gave him a small kiss. Chris gave her a hug before
walking out.
"Bye Freddie. Get better buddy." Joey said walking up the bed with
lance by his side.
"Bye you guys. I'll see you soon." Freddie replied.
"Bye Freddie. Get better okay?" Jennie said.
"Okay bye Jennie. Thanks for getting Britney some time off."
Freddie said, showing deep gratitude in his eyes.
"No problem." Jennie said moving out of the room along with
everyone else.
"Bye Freddie. Say Bye Seth." Tyler said placing the child on the
bed.
"Bye Fweddie." Seth said waving softly. Freddie let out a chuckle.
"Bye Ty. Bye Seth." Freddie said waving back. Tyler began to walk
out while he carried Seth in his arms. Britney started to walk out of the
room and felt Justin's arm go around her shoulder for comfort. Britney let
her tears fall from her eyes as she rested her head on his shoulder. Justin
held her closely while JC looked on sadly as he took Seth from Tyler's
arms.
The guys and Britney performed another great show despite their
lack of sleep. To a professional eye, you could see the mistakes they made
in choreography and vocals but to the average teenage girl or boy in the
audience it went flawless. They all quickly boarded the bus as it moved on
to its next location. Britney quickly went to sleep in her bunk as did
lance who was still a little blue about losing Danielle. Chris laid his
bunk, wide awake, thinking about Sarah who he was separated from for a
whole two days. Joey fell asleep on the couch in the lounge, while Tyler
sat on the floor watching the television. Justin sat cuddled in JC's arms
as they too watched.
"JC did you call Heather today like I told you?" Tyler asked,
making sure his brother did.
"Uhm, No. I forgot." JC replied.
"Josh! How could you forget? I told you to call her today it was
important." Tyler claimed.
"Well I'm sorry Tyler. I was a little busy. Why couldn't you do
it?" JC asked, getting irritated.
"I was watching my SON remember?" Tyler asked.
"Well I was busting my ass off on stage the whole day." JC
replied. Justin watched as the two brothers bickered.
"Ugh! Tu dois demain." Tyler said, switching into French.
"Telephone-toi." JC replied. You could feel the antipathy between
them. All of a sudden Joey let out a snort and then turned in his spot on
the couch and resumed his sleep. The three guys started to laugh and then
looked back at the TV.
"You know Ty. Why don't I call her tomorrow morning?" JC proposed.
"No I'll do it. You have practice and stuff." Tyler said.
"No really I got it. I don't mind." JC said, trying to apologize.
"No I don't want to burden you." Tyler replied. The two kept this
on for longer. Justin pulled out his cell phone and dialed.
"No I really got it. I have nothing to do tomorrow." Tyler said.
"No Ty. . ." JC was stopped when Justin passed him the phone.
"What's this?" JC asked.
"It's Heather. I decided I would call her now." Justin smiled. JC
smiled back at his boyfriend and gave him a quick peck on the lips.
"Euh. Heather. Dans quatre jours, Justin, Tyler, et moi sommes
aller a la maison. Quand Est-ce que tu rentre?" JC asked. Justin marveled
in his boyfriend's ability to speak French. His cute slight accent and the
way his lips curl when he speaks.
"I don't know! Maybe in a week or two? And hey I'm not Aunt Julie
or Meme so you don't have to use French when talking to me." Heather
snapped back.
"Were you sleeping?" JC asked.
"Yeah it's Three in the morning here." Heather replied crankily.
"Well I just called to annoy you." JC replied.
"Agacer." Justin said proud of himself. JC smiled at his boyfriend
who had just said `to annoy' in French.
"Oh no! Now you have Justin doing it." heather groaned.
"Isn't it cute?" JC asked.
"Cute my ass. Now can I go back to bed now?" Heather asked.
"Heather? Who's that?" JC heard a male's voice on Heather's side of
the phone.
"Who's that?" JC asked defensively.
"No one. It's my boyfriend." Heather replied.
"You're boyfriend is sleeping over? What's his name? Where does he
live? How old is he?" JC asked angrily.
"Josue! Il est mon petit ami. C'est ca. Est-ce que je couche?"
Heather asked perturbed herself.
"Tu ne couche pas avec ton petit ami!" JC snapped back.
"Je ne suis pas dix ans. J'ai vingt-et-un ans." Heather replied.
"Je connais. Mais. . ." JC started.
"Mais non!" Heather replied.
"Nous allons parler demain." JC said.
"D'accord." Heather replied with a sigh.
"Do you want to talk to Ty?" JC asked.
"No I'll talk to him tomorrow." She responded.
"Okay. Bye. And go straight to bed and don't let him touch you." JC
warned.
"Will do Josh. Bye. Give my regards to the rest of the guys and
Britney." Heather said.
"Okay. Bye. I love you. Take care." JC said.
"I love you too you big bonehead." Heather replied. The two hung
up. JC passed the phone back to Justin who tossed it to the side.
"She's sleeping with someone?" Tyler asked in confusion.
"I'll explain it tomorrow. I said we'll talk about it tomorrow. She
was kind of tired." JC stated.
"Well I am too so I'm going to sleep. G'night guys." Tyler said as
he got up.
"Good night Ty." Both Justin and JC said. JC looked at Justin who
was confused.
"Don't worry I'll explain it all later." JC said with a sigh.
"Okay." Justin said as he leaned up and kissed JC quickly.
"JC? Can you sing to me?" Justin asked. He looked at JC with puppy
dog eyes. JC smiled back at him.
"What do you want me to sing?" JC asked.
"Well I don't know. Something nice Something slow. Something
about. . . us" Justin said, thinking of a song that would represent their
love for one another. JC thought about it for a second before smiling in
approval. He kissed Justin on top of the head and held him closely before
starting to sing.
When visions around you
Brig tears to your eyes
And all that surrounds you
Are secrets and lies
I'll be your strength
I'll give you hope
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call
Was standing here all along
And I will take you in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
`Til the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
I've loved you forever
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow
Forever has now begun
And I will take you in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
`Til the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
Just close your eyes
Each lovin' day
And know this feeling won't go away
`til the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
Over and over I fall
When I hear you call
Without You in my life, baby
I just wouldn't be living at all
And I will take you in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
`Til the day my life is through
This I promise you, baby
Just close your eyes
Each lovin' day
And know this feeling won't go away
`til the day my life is through
This I promise you
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
I promise you
JC finished singing and saw tat Justin had fallen asleep in his
arms he gently lifted Justin up so he could get out. He took a blanket and
covered Joey quietly and the turned off the lights. He unfolded another
blanket and climbed back onto the couch where Justin slept. He cuddled up
to Justin. Justin's head rested snuggly under JC's chin. The two fell
asleep into the night as the bus drove on toward they're next destination.
